I’ll bet you dime to donuts you’ve never heard of trigonelline.
The compound’s not exactly a household word.
But despite never having heard of it, there’s also a good chance this nutrient is ALREADY part of your daily diet.
If that’s the case, that’s fantastic because it has some exciting benefits…
But you may want to dial UP your dose to enhance your brain power.
If you’re a coffee drinker you’re ALREADY drinking down some trigonelline with every mugful. This lesser-known alkaloid compound is found in coffee beans, fenugreek seeds, and (strangely) radishes.
Emerging research suggests trigonelline offers powerful brain-boosting benefits.
And recent research reveals it may be ESPECIALLY effective for fighting back against age-related memory and cognitive decline.
Animal research published in the journal GeroScience found that trigonelline improved memory function in aging mice. In fact, the compound significantly enhanced they’re learning and recall.
But that’s not all. After being given trigonelline supplements, the critters embraced their inner Sherlock Holmes. The mouse supersleuths were able to locate hidden food sources FAR easier than before taking the compound.
The researchers believe trigonelline stimulates the growth of dendrites, the branch-like structures that nerve cells in the brain use to communicate with each other.
Trigonelline also …
- reduced neuroinflammation,
- raised key neurotransmitter levels, and
- supported mitochondrial function to energize brain cells.
But the brain benefits don’t end there.
Previous studies show trigonelline has antioxidant properties that protect our noggins from damaging free radicals that impair cognition.
Experts say the compound’s multifaceted mechanisms of action help explain the improvements in memory, recall, and other mental performance markers.
The best news of all is for those of us who are coffee lovers. And that is that the beans are bursting with trigonelline. The brain-friendly compound is preserved through the roasting process that produces our delicious daily cup of Joe.
So, you get far more than just a caffeine jolt whenever you down your morning mug. Your favorite brew is ALSO boosting your brainpower.
